    Tbh what I gound the weirdest was the scene of the goblins on the other side of the mirror. I'd have to rewatch it to be sure, but ... they looked pretty 'normal', didn't they? As in, leading a normal happy life. Building huts, dancing around fires, talking, esting, etc.. I thought it kinda disturbed the image that GS wants to have of them. Maybe that's why he got rid of the mirror? After all, there might have been good goblins. And GS doesn't want that to become a reality.

    That's what it seemed to me too. Bunch of goblins living peacefully outside.

    Although the giant cauldron seemed a bit sinister. But then, any cooking vessel large enough to accommodate a person always seems sinister.

    It's also possible the goblins who dare to go to another world have adventurer minds and are the more violent ones.

    Somehow when analysing your average adventurer from a monster perspective, adventurer pillage/kill/loot everything without care too.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Nazis and communists were also capable of spending time with their families, courting women, drinking and singing with their friends, whenever they weren't escorting groups of random civilians to a forest to be shot without the slightest compunction. I'm sure islamists are also capable of enjoying the company of their compatriots, smoking and having a good time talking about cars and whatnot, whenever they aren't slitting the throats of kidnapped civilians or planting bombs in public places.

    They were lashing their own kind with a whip though...
    and the humanoid looking skulls lying around everywhere didn't look that idyllic to me either.

    Ah, okay. I didn't get a close look.

    It felt like the show overemphasized slightly the break from action. But I guess they made such a choice to have that last scene right at the end of the episode. I admit it was effective in some ways, like showing the exact same routine a few times, only the last one ending totally differently. However, otherwise the overextended slice of life was kind of unfitting for the series. Like, how could the goblins have disappeared, leaving no quests for him to worry about?

    since the demon lord has been defeated, maybe other adventurers had to start picking up goblin quests.

    Hmm... Quite a valid point. Even the dude training the youths referred to goblins, even though normally the experienced adventurers try to stay away from goblins if they can help it.

    I was looking forward to this all day today. The disappointment seeing a recap episode is heavy.

    Imagine Goblin Slayer going on a quest only to find giant rats instead of the promised goblins? Kinda like that.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Japan needs to stop recap episodes :/ People don't have such bird brains, a 26 episode-series (much less a 13 one) doesn't need a recap. If it wss 52 episodes, ok, once or twice a year a recap is acceptable.

    It's really not. Everyone watches anime online now. There's just no reason for them anymore.

    They need it to pad schedules and catch up for lost time during production. They don't do it for fun and consider it a disgrace or necessary evil at least.

    New episode is out!

    Plenty of action in this one. Was wondering how they would censor this bit.

    So is this ending in 1-2 episodes?

    Feels like we're at a climax.

    Well, proper adult woman with proper make-up telling the man she actually loves she's willing to uselessly go through hell and die with him.
    And no, I did not think about that.
